Just one new poem today
“Alone” by yours truly
“You’re better off alone,”
Whispered a woman at a late-night party
Who knew he had a crush on her.
They dated later, but…
His joke on a date was “now I’m dating myself…
Because no one else will date me.”
“You’re disappointed either way,”
Said a grad school classmate,
Apparently referring to whether
You succeed in romance or not.
Disappointed, alone.
